So I can see my baby, when I leave this world We were out on a date, in my daddy’s car We hadn’t driven very far There in the road, straight ahead The car was stalled, the engine was dead I couldn’t stop, so I swerved to the right I’ll never forget the sound that night The crying tires, the bustin’ glass The painful scream, that I……..heard last (chorus)
Well when I woke up, the rain was pouring down There were people, standing all around Something warm, running in my eyes But I found my baby, somehow that night I raised her head, and then she smiled and said Hold me darling, for a little while I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss I found the love, that I knew I would miss But now she’s gone, even though I hold her tight I lost my love, my life, that night (chorus) C

I took up all my winnings, and I gave little Bessie half She tore it up, and threw it in my face, just for a laugh There's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to see That's when that little love of mine, dip's her doughnut in my tea (chorus) Me and my mate we were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box She says, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk" Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat (chorus) There's a flood out in California, and up norh it's freezing cold And this living on the road is getting pretty old So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted To go and see my Bessie again (chorus) "Cripple Creek" by Robbie Robertson, The Band

E7 Bm7 E7 It was the third day of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day E7 Bm7 E7 I was out choppin’ cotton and my brother was bailin’ hay A7 And at dinnertime we stopped and walked back to the house to eat E7 Bm7 E7 And Mama hollered at the back door, “Y’all remember to wipe your feet” A7 Then she said, “I got some news this mornin’ from Choctaw Ridge E7 D7 E Today Billy Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge E7 Bm7 E7 And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the black-eyed peas E7 Bm7 E7 “Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits please” A7 “There’s five more acres in the lower forty I’ve got to plow” E7 Bm7 E7 And Mama said it was a shame about Billy Joe, anyhow A7 Seems like nothin’ ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge E7 D7 E And now Billy Joe McAllister’s jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billy Joe Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show And wasn’t I talkin’ to him after church last Sunday night? “I’ll have another piece a apple pie, you know it just don’t seem right” “I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge” “And now ya tell me Billy Joe’s jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge And Mama said to me “Child, what’s happened to your appetite?” “I’ve been cookin’ all morning and you haven’t touched a single bite” “That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today” “Said he’d be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way” “He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge” “And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin’ off the Tallahatchie Bridge” A year has come ‘n’ gone since we heard the news’ bout Billy Joe And Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo There was a virus going ‘round, Papa caught it and he died last spring And now Mama doesn’t seem to wanna do much of anything And me, I spend a lot of time pickin’ flowers up on Choctaw Ridge And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge “Ode To Billy Joe” by Bobbie Gentry 1967

Listen children, to a story, that was written long ago F

‘Bout a kingdom, on a mountain, and the valley folk below C
G
Am
On the mountain, was a treasure, buried deep beneath a stone F
C
Dm7
C
F
C
And the valley people. Swore they’d have it, for their very own Em
F
Go ahead and hate your neighbour,
C
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Em
F
Do it in the name of heaven,
C
Justify it in the end Em
F
C
There won’t be any trumpets blowin’, Come the judgement day F
F
On the bloody morning after, C
G
C
F
One tin soldier rides away
Am
So the people of the valley, sent a message up the hill F
C
Dm7
G
Asking for the buried treasure, tons of gold for which they’d kill C
G
Am
Came an answer from the kingdom, “With our brothers we will share” F
C
Dm7
C
F
C
All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there (chorus) C
G
Am
Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword F
C
Dm7
G
And they killed the mountain people, so they won their just reward C
G
Am
Now they stood beside the treasure, on the mountain, dark and red F
C

Turned the stone and looked beneath it, “Peace on Earth” was all it said (chorus) “One Tin Soldier” By Coven

Put Your Hand In The Hand D
A
Put your hand in the hand of the Man who stilled the water D
Put your hand in the hand of the Man who calmed the sea D
G
D
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently A
D
By putting your hand in the hand of the Man from Galilee D
A
Every time I look into the Holy book, I want to tremble D
When I read about the part where the carpenter, cleared the temple D
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellows G
D
Than what I profess to be A
D
And it causes me shame to know I’m not the person I could be (chorus) D
A
My mother taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven D
And when I’m down on my knees that’s when I’m close to heaven D
Oh well, He came to earth just a child at birth G
D
He knew what He must do A
D
And He taught me enough of what it takes to get me through (chorus) D
A
Well you hear of all the hate and crime we find in this life D
All the people say that that there is no way to end the strife D
But if you tell the Lord, you want to hop on board G
D
And let Him lead you where He will A
D
You’ll find His promise of, eternal life he will fulfill (chorus)

E A And the sound of the battle rang, E A 'Til the last of the hoodlum gang, A B There was shouting in the street, A B And I asked someone who said,
B E Through the streets of the old east side B E Had surrendered up or died B E And the sound of running feet B E (chorus) "'Bout a hundred cops are dead!"
E A And there was no sound at all, A B Then the door burst open wide, A B And he kissed my mama's face, E The night Chicago died, E The night Chicago died, A B Brother what a fight the people saw, E The night Chicago died, E The night Chicago died, A B Brother what a fight it really was,
B E But the clock upon the wall B E And my daddy stepped inside B E And he brushed her tears away E B A B A Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na A B Brother what a night the people saw E Yes indeed! E B A B A Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na A B Brother what a night it really was E (repeat previous verse) Glory be!

Em Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road D And you feel the eyes upon you, as you’re shaking off the cold A Em You pretend it doesn’t bother you, but you just want to explode Em Most times you can hear em’ talk, other times you can’t D All the same ole’ cliché’s, is that a woman or a man A Em And you always seem outnumbered, you don’t dare make a stand (chorus) Em Out there in the spotlight, you’re a million miles away D Every ounce of energy, you try to give away A Em As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play Em Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed D With the echoes from the amplifiers, ringin’ in your head A Em You smoke the day’s last cigarette, remembering what she said “Turn The Page” by Bob Seeger

And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave Now there's only one left down there to save-Big John With jacks and timbers they started back down Then came that rumble way down in the ground And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John (Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John) Now they never reopened that worthless pit They just placed a marble stand in front of it These few words are written on that stand At the bottom of this mine lies one hell of a man Big John (Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

A Boy Named Sue G My daddy left home when I was three C And he didn’t leave much to Ma and me D G Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze G Now, I don’t blame him cause he run and hid C But the meanest thing, that he ever did D G Was before he left, he went and named me Sue
Well he must o’ thought that it was quite a joke And it got a lot of laughs from a’ lots of folk It seems I had to fight my whole life through Some gal would giggle and I’d get red And some guy’d laugh and I’d bust his head I tell ya, life ain’t easy for a boy named Sue Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean My fists got hard and my wits got keen I’d roam from town to town to hide my shame But I made me a vow to the moon and stars That I’d search the honky tonks and bars And kill that man that give me that awful name Well it was Gatlinburg in mid July And I just hit town and my throat was dry I thought I’d stop and have myself a brew At an old saloon on a street of mud There at a table, dealin’ stud Sat that dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad From a worn out picture that my mother had And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye He was big and bent and gray and old And I looked at him and my blood ran cold And I said, “My name is Sue, how do you do?, Now you gonna die?”

A Boy Named Sue
Page 2
Well I hit him hard right between the eyes And he went down, but to my surprise He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear But I busted a chair, right across his teeth And we crashed through the wall and into the street Kicking and a gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer I tell ya, I’ve fought tougher men But I really can’t remember when He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile I heard him laugh and then I heard him curse He went for his gun and I pulled mine first He stood there lookin’ at me, and I saw him smile And he said, “Son this world is rough And if a man’s gonna make it, he’s gotta be tough And I knew I wouldn’t be there to help you along So I gave you that name, and I said goodbye I knew you’d have to get tough or die And it’s that name that helped to make you strong” He said, “Now you just fought one hell of a fight And I know you hate me, and you got the right To kill me now, and I wouldn’t blame you if you do But ya oughta thank me, before I die For the gravel in your guts, and the spit in your eye Cause I’m the son of a bitch that named you Sue” I got all choked up, and I threw down my gun And I called him my pa, and he called me son And I come away with a different point of view And I think about him, now and then Every time I try, and every time I win And if I ever have a son, I think I’m gonna name him Bill or George, anything but Sue, I still hate that name

Coward Of The County A D A Everyone considered him, the coward of the county E He’d never stood one single time, to prove the county wrong A D A His Mamma named him Tommy, the folks just called him yellow E A But something always told me, they were reading Tommy wrong He was only ten years old, when his Daddy died in prison I took care of Tommy, cause he was my brothers son I still recall the final words, my brother said to Tommy “Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun” A D A “Promise me son, not to do the things I’ve done D A E Walk away from trouble if you can A D A Now, It don’t mean you’re weak, if you turn the other cheek D E E7 A I hope your old enough to understand, Son, you don’t have to fight to be a man” There’s someone for everyone, and Tommy’s love was Becky In her arms he didn’t have to prove he was a man One day while he was workin’, the Gatlin boys came callin’ They took turns at Becky, there were three of them Tommy opened up the door, and saw his Becky cryin’ The torn dress, the shattered look, was more than he could stand He reached above the fireplace, and took down his Daddy’s picture As the tears fell on his Daddy’s face, I heard these words again
chorus
Spoken
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him, when he walked into the barroom One of them got up, and met him halfway cross the floor When Tommy turned around they said, “Hey, look old yellow’s leavin’” But you coulda heard a pin drop, when Tommy stopped and locked the door
Spoken
Twenty years of crawlin’, was bottled up inside him He wasn’t holdin’ nothin’ back, he let them have it all When Tommy left the barroom, not a Gatlin boy was standin’ He said this one’s for Becky, as he watched the last one fall I promised you Dad, not to do the things you’ve done I walk away from trouble when I can Now please don’t think I’m weak, I couldn’t turn the other cheek Papa I sure hope you understand, sometimes you gotta fight to be a man A D A Everyone considered him,.

B7 E But that train keeps a rollin', on down to-San-An-Tone E When I was just a baby, my mama told me, “Son E Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns" A E But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die B7 E When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry. E I bet there’s rich folks eatin’, in a fancy dining car E They’re probly drinkin’ coffee, and smokin big cigars A E Well I know I had it comin’, I know I can’t be free B7 E But those people keep a movin’, and that’s what tortures me E Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine E I bet I'd move it all, a little farther down the line A E Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay B7 E And I'd let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues away

THE UNEASY RIDER C F I was takin' a trip out to L.A. , Toolin' along in my Chevrolet G7 C Tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radi- o ... C Just as I crossed the Mississippi line F I heard that highway start to whine G7 C And I knew that left rear tire was about to go. Well, the spare was flat and I got uptight, 'Cause there wasn't a fillin' station in sight So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car It was right in front of this little bar Kind of redneck lookin' joint, called the Dew Drop Inn. Well, I stuffed my hair up under my hat , And told the bartender that I had a flat And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one There was one thing I was sure proud to see There wasn't a soul in the place, 'cept for him and me And he just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone. I called up the station down the road a ways, And he said he wasn't very busy today And he could have somebody there in just 'bout ten minutes or so He said now you just stay right where you're at And I didn't bother tellin' the durn fool I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go. I just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar , When some guy walked in and said; "Who owns this car? With the peace sign, the mag wheels and four on the floor?" Well, he looked at me and I damn near died And I decided that I'd just wait outside So I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door. Just when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin, These five big dudes come strollin' in With this one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth And I was almost to the door when the biggest one Said; "You tip your hat to this lady, son." And when I did all that hair fell out from underneath. Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight , In Jackson, Mississippi on a Saturday night 'Specially when there was three of them and only one of me They all started laughin' and I felt kinda sick And I knew I'd better think of somethin' pretty quick So I just reached out and kicked old green-teeth right in the knee. “Uneasy Rider” by The Charlie Daniels Band
He let out a yell that'd curl your hair , But before he could move, I grabbed me a chair And said; "Watch him folks, 'cause he's a thouroughly dangerous man." "Well, you may not know it, but this man's a spy He's an undercover agent for the FBI And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan." He was still bent over, holdin' on to his knee, But everyone else was lookin' and listenin' to me And I layed it on thicker and heavier as I went I said; "Would you beleive this man has gone as far As tearin' Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars And he voted for George McGovern for president." "He's a friend of them long-haired, hippie type, pinko fags, Commie flag Tacked up on the wall, inside of his garage He's a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys He may look dumb, but that's just a disguise He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage."
I betcha he's even got a
They all started lookin' real suspicious at him, And he jumped up an' said; "Now, just wait a minute, Jim You know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life." "I'm a faithfull follower of Brother John Birch And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church And I ain't even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife." Then he started sayin' somethin' 'bout the way I was dressed, I didn't wait around to hear the rest I was too busy movin' and hopin' I didn't run outta luck And when I hit the ground, I was makin' tracks And they were just takin' my car down off the jacks So I threw the man a twenty an' jumped in an' fired that mother up. Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud, Of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd Comin' out the door and headin' toward me in a trot And I guess I should-a gone ahead and run But somehow I couldn't resist the fun Of chasin' them all just once around the parkin' lot. Well, they're headin' for their car, but I hit the gas, And spun around and headed them off at the pass I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air Ha Ha, well, I had 'em all out there steppin' and fetchin' Like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin' But I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there. When I hit the road I was really wheelin' , Had gravel flyin' and rubber squeelin' And I didn't slow down 'til I was almost to Arkansas Well, I think I'm gonna re-route my trip I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped If I went to L.A. - via Omaha. “Uneasy Rider” by The Charlie Daniels Band

Horse With No Name Em
D6/9
Em
D6/9
On the first part of the journey,
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things, There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz,
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry,
But the air was full of sounds
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain La la la la la la la
la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la (repeat 5 or 6 times final chorus)
After two days in the desert sun,
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun,
I was looking at a riverbed
And the story it told of a river that flowed, (chorus)
Made me sad to think it was dead
After nine days I let the horse run free,
‘Cause the desert had turned to sea
There was plants and birds and rocks and things, There were sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with it’s life underground,
And the perfect disguise above
Under the cities, lies a heart made of ground, (chorus)
But the humans will give no love

City of New Orleans
Capo 3
G D G Riding on the City of New Orleans Em C G Illinois Central Monday morning rail G D G Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders, Em D G Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail Em Bm All along the southbound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee D A And rolls along past houses, farms and fields Em Bm Passing trains that have no name, freight yards of old black men D D7 G And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
C D7 G Good morning America, how are you? Em C G D7 Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son. G D Em I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans F C D G And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
G D G Dealing card games with the old men in the club car Em C G Penny a point ain't no-one keeping score G D G Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle Em D G Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor Em Bm And the sons of Pullman porters, and the sons of engineers D A Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel Em Bm Mothers with their babes asleep, rocking to the gentle beat D D7 G And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel. CHORUS

G D G Nightime on the City of New Orleans Em C G Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee G D G Half way home we'll be there by morning Em D G Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea. Em Bm But all the towns and people seem to fade into a dark dream D A And the steel rail still ain't heard the news Em Bm The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain D D7 G This train got the disappearing railroad blues.
FINAL CHORUS C D7 G Good night America, How are you? Em C G D7 Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son. G D Em I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans F C D G I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

F G C F C F Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time C F C F C F Far past the frozen leaves, The haunted frightened trees, Out to the windy beach C F G Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow F G C F C F Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky, With one hand waving free C F C F Silhouetted by the sea, Circled by the circus sands C F C F With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves C F G Let me forget about today until tomorrow (chorus)

Spanish Train Intro C – Dm / C – Dm / C – Dm / C - Dm Dm Bb There’s a Spanish train that runs between, Quadalquivir and old Saville C A7 Dm And at the dead of night the whistle blows, and people hear, she’s running still Dm Bb And then they hush their children back to sleep, lock the doors, upstairs they creep C A7 Dm For it is said that the souls of the dead, fill that train, ten thousand deep!!" Dm Bb C Dm Well a railwayman lay dying, with his people by his side Bb A7 His family were crying knelt in prayer before he died Bb C But above his bed, just a-waiting for the dead, A7 Dm Was the devil with a twinkle in his eye, Bb C “Well God’s not around and look what I’ve found, Dm This one’s mine!!” Bb C Dm Just then the Lord himself appeared, in a blinding flash of light, Bb A7 And shouted at the devil, “Get thee hence to endless night!!” Bb C But the devil just grinned and said, “I may have sinned, Am Dm But there’s no need to push me around Bb C I got him first so you can do your worst, Dm He’s going underground!!” Dm Bb C Dm “But I think I’ll give you one more chance”, said the devil with a smile Dm Bb A7 “So throw away that stupid lance, it’s really not your style” Bb C A7 Dm “Joker is the name, poker is the game, we’ll play right here on this bed Bb C And then we’ll bet for the biggest stakes yet Dm The souls of the dead!!”
Bb C Dm And I said, “Look out, Lord, he’s gonna win, Bb C Dm The sun is down, and the night is riding in, Bb A7 Dm Gm That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line, Bb A7 Dm Oh Lord, he’s gonna win!” Dm Bb C Dm Well the railwayman, he cut the cards, and he dealt them each a hand of five Bb A7 And for the Lord, he was praying hard, or that train he’d have to drive Bb C A7 Dm Well the devil he had three aces and a king, and the Lord he was running for a straight, Bb C He had the queen and the knave, and nine and ten of spades, Dm All He needed was the eight Dm Bb C Dm And then the Lord He called for one more card, but he drew the diamond eight Bb A7 And the devil said to the Son of God “I believe you’ve got it straight, Bb C A7 Dm So deal me one, for the time has come to see, who’ll be the king of this place, Bb C But as he spoke from beneath his cloak, Dm He slipped another ace!! Dm Bb C Dm Ten thousand souls was the opening bid, soon went up to fifty-nine, Bb A7 But the Lord didn’t see what the devil did, and He said “that suits me fine” Bb C A7 Dm “I’ll raise you high to a hundred and five, and forever put an end to your sins” Bb C But the devil let out a mighty shout Dm “My hand wins!!” Bb C Dm And I Said, “Lord, oh Lord, You let him win, Bb C Dm The sun is down, and the night is riding in, Bb A7 Dm Gm That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line, Bb A7 Dm Oh Lord, don’t let him win”
Spanish Train Dm Bb Well that Spanish train still runs between, Quadalquivir and old Saville C A7 Dm And at dead of night the whistle blows, and people fear, she’s running still Dm Bb And far away in some recess, The Lord and the devil are now playing chess C A7 Dm The devil still cheats and wins more souls, and as for the Lord, well, he’s just doing his best Bb C Dm And I said “Lord, oh Lord, You’ve got to win, Bb C Dm The sun is down, and the night is riding in, Bb A7 Dm Gm That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line Bb A7 Dm Oh Lord, You’ve got to win”

American Pie D A Bm I met a girl who sang the blues Em G Bm A And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away D A Bm I went down to the sacred store Em G Bm G A Where I’d heard the music years before, but the man there said the music wouldn’t play Em Am Em Am But in the streets, the children screamed, the lovers cried, and the poets dreamed G D Em G A But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken D A Bm Em7 G A7 And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost D A Bm Em7 A7 D They caught the last train for the coast, the day the music died A7 And they were singin’

The legend lives on, from the Chippewa on down, of the big lake they call “Gitche Gumee” The lake it is said, never gives up her dead, When the skies of November turn gloomy With a load of iron ore, twenty-six thousand tons more, Than the Edmund Fitzg’ld weighed empty That big ship and true, was a bone to be chewed, When the “Gales of November” came early The ship was the pride, of the American side, coming back from some mill in Wisconsin As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most, With a crew and good captain well seasoned Concluding some terms, with a couple of steel firms, When they left fully loaded for Cleveland And later that night, when the ship’s bell rang, Could it be the north wind they’d been feeling? (chord chorus)
The wind in the wires, made a tattletale sound, And a wave broke over the railing And every man knew, as the captain did too, ‘Twas the witch of November come stealin” The dawn came late, and the breakfast had to wait, When the Gales of November came slashin’ When afternoon came, it was freezing rain, In the face of a hurricane west wind (chord chorus)
When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin, “Fella’s, it’s too rough to feed ya” At seven P.M., a main hatchway caved in, he said, “Fella’s, it’s been good to know ya” The captain wired in, he had water comin’ in, And the big ship and crew was in peril And later that night, when it’s lights went outta sight, Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (chord chorus)
Does anyone know, where the love of God goes, When the waves turn the minutes to hours? The searchers all say, they’d have made Whitefish Bay, If they’d put fifteen more miles, behind her They might have split up, or they might have capsized, They may have broke deep, and took water And all that remains, is the faces and the names, Of the wives, and the son’s, and the daughters (chord chorus)
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings, In the rooms of her ice-water mansion Old Michigan steams, like a young man’s dreams, The islands and bays are for sportsmen And farther below, Lake Ontario, Takes in what Lake Erie can send her And the iron boats go, as the mariners all know, With the Gales of November remembered (chord chorus)
In a musty old hall, in Detroit they prayed, In the “Maritime Sailors” cathedral The church bell chimed, till it rang twenty-nine times, For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald The legend lives on, from the Chippewa on down, Of the big lake they call “Gitche Gumee” “Superior” they said, “never gives up her dead, When the Gales of November come early (chord chorus) “Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald” words and music by Gordon Lightfoot CCLI License #989302

Tijuana Jail G C G We went one day, about a month ago D G To have a little fun, in Mexi-co C G We ended up, in the gambling spot D G Where the liquor flowed, and the dice were hot
C G So here we are, in the Tijuana jail D G Ain't got no friends, to go our bail C G So here we'll stay, cause we can't pay D G Just send our mail, to the Tijuana jail
C G I was shooting dice, racking in the dough (long green) D G And then I heard, the whistle blow C G We started to run, when a man in blue D G Said "Senior come with me cause I want you." (chorus)
C G Just five hundred dollars, and they'll set us free D G I couldn't raise a penny, if you threatened me C G I know five hundred don't sound like much (cheap) D G But just try to find, somebody to touch (chorus twice) “Tijuana Jail” by The Kingston Trio

Tom Dooley Spoken: Throughout history there have been many songs written about the eternal triangle. This next one tells the story about a Mr. Grayson, a beautiful woman and a condemmed man named Tom Dooley. When the sun rises tomorrow Tom Dooley must hang.
E Hang down your head Tom Dooley, B7 Hang down your head Tom Dooley,
B7 Hang down your head and cry E Poor boy you're bound to die
E I met her on the mountain, B7 I met her on the mountain, (chorus)
B7 There I took her life E Stabbed her with my knife
E This time tomorrow, B7 Hadn't a been for Grayson, (chorus twice)
B7 reckon where I'll be E I'd a been in Tennesee
E B7 This time tomorrow, reckon where I be B7 E Down in some lonesome valley, hanging from a white oak tree

Me And Bobby McGee C Busted Flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the train G7 Feelin’ nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained C Took us all the way to New Orleans C I took my harpoon out of my, dirty red bandanna C7 F And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues C With those windshield wipers slappin’ time, and Bobby clappin’ hands G7 C We finally sang up every song that driver knew F C Freedom’s just another word for, nothin’ left to lose G7 C Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free F C Feeling good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues G7 C Feeling good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee From the coal mines of Kentucky, to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standin’ right beside me Lord, through everything I’ve done And every night she kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salinas Lord, I let her slip away Lookin’ for the home I hope she’ll find And I’d trade all my tomorrows, for a single yesterday Holdin’ Bobby’s body next to mine F C Freedom’ just another word, for nothin’ left to lose G7 C Nothin’ left is all she left for me F C Feeling good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues G7 C And buddy that was good enough for me, good enough for me and my Bobby Mcgee

E B If you love me love me love A E Why did you ever go? E B If you love me love me love A E Why did you ever leave me girl? E B If you love me love me love A E Why did you ever go?

A Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight shinin' through the trees D Crickets are singin' and lightnin' bugs are floatin' in the breeze A Baby get ready A Across the field where the creek bends back by the old stump road D I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows A E Baby get ready, ooo ooo A You and me go fishin' in the dark Lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars D Where the cool grass grows A Down by the river in the full moonlight We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night D Just movin' slow E Spend the whole night through A Feels so good to be with you A Springs almost over and the summers comin', the days are gettin' long D Waitin' all winter for the time to be right just to take you along A Baby get ready A It don't matter if we sit forever and the fish don't bite D Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night A E Baby get ready, ooo ooo (chorus) (repeat chorus and fade) "Fishin' In The Dark" by The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

Through the sparkling sands of, Her diamond deserts G
D
And all around me, A voice was sounding A7
D
This land was made for you and me (chorus) D
G
D
As the sun was shining, and I was strolling A7
D
Through the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling G
D
As the fog was lifting, a voice was calling A7
D
This land was made for you and me (chorus)

“This Train” Traditional
Wabash Cannonball E A From the great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore B E She climbs the flowery mountains, over hills and by the shore E A She’s mighty tall and handsome and she's known quite well by all B E She's a regular combination, the Wabash Cannonball. E A Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar B E As she glides along the woodland, over hills and by the shore E A Hear the mighty rush of the engine, hear the merry hobo’s call B E As she travels across the country, the Wabash Cannonball. E A Oh the Eastern states are dandy, so the Western people say B E From New York to St. Louis and Chicago by the way E A To the hills of Minnesota where the rippling waters fall B E No chances to be taken on the Wabash Cannonball. E A I have rode the I.C. Limited, also the Royal Blue B E Across the Eastern counties on Elkhorn Number Two E A I have rode these highball trains from coast to coast that's all B E But I have found no equal to the Wabash Cannonball. E A Oh, here's old daddy Claxton, let his name forever be B E And long be he remembered in the courts of Tennessee E A For he is a good old rounder 'til the curtain round him fall B E He'll be carried on to glory on the Wabash Cannonball. “Wabash Cannonball” Traditional

Traditional Chorus Verses by Robin Cecile
There’s a better home a waiting….
Will The Circle Be Unbroken
Two
G (D) There are loved ones in the glory C (G) G (D) Whose dear forms you often miss
G You can picture happy gatherings C G Round the fireside long ago
When you close your earthly story D (A) G (D) Will you join them in their bliss
And you think of tearful partings D G When they left you here below (chorus)
G Will the circle be unbroken C G By and by Lord by and by
G One by one their seats were emptied C G One by one they went away
There’s a better home awaiting D G In the sky Lord in the sky
Now the family is parted D G Will it be complete one day (chorus)
G In the joyous days of childhood C G Oft they told of wondrous love Pointed to the dying Saviour D G Now they dwell with Him above (chorus) G You remember songs of heaven C G Which you sang with childish voice Do you love the hymns they taught you D G Or are songs of earth your choice (chorus)
Will The Circle Be Unbroken
Three
G (D) I was standing by my window C (G) G (D) On a cold and cloudy day
G I went back home my home was lonesome C G Missed my mother she was gone
When I saw the hearse come rolling D (A) G (D) For to carry my mother away
All my brothers and sisters crying D G In our home so sad and alone (chorus)
G Will the circle be unbroken C G By and by Lord by and by
G We sang the songs of childhood C G Hymns of faith that made us strong
There’s a better home awaiting D G In the sky Lord in the sky
Ones that our mother had taught us D G Hear the angels sing along (chorus)
G I said to the undertaker C G Undertaker please drive slow For the party you are hauling D G Lord I hate to see her go (chorus) G Oh I followed close behind her C G Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow D G When they laid her in her grave (chorus)
